Ramen Menu at Shizusan

We have some good news for Ramen lovers here in Pune- Shizusan, the friendly neighbourhood fusion restaurant has introduced a new Ramen menu last July, and from what I’ve seen, heard and experienced, people have a lot to thank Shizusan for. Shizusan, the hipster mascot, is back from his tour of East Asia, and he’s got […]

The Sunday Brunch at Conrad, Pune

There’s a regular brunch buffet, and then you have the brunch buffet at Conrad. You eat 2, ok maybe 3 rounds of food at a regular buffet, and then you struggle to taste everything that’s on the menu even after 5 servings at the Conrad buffet. But you eat anyway. True story. I was invited […]

Kobe Sizzlers, Pune

It’s probably the first time we’ve done this, and we have returned with good memories. Date nights are fun, but date nights with a lot of food are better.

Grubfest 2016, Pune

India’s biggest food fest was in our not-so-tiny-anymore town of Pune in the last weekend of March, and in my opinion it was like a breath of fresh air in this dull, dry heat. There were quite  a few goofups, but as a festival attendee I had a fun-filled 3 days that I know will get […]

World Dhaba Fest – 2016

Pune was host to the World Dhaba Festival recently, and I shall keep this review short and sweet. Here is what it was all about – For starters, the name is pretty misleading because a. There was nothing “dhaba” about the brands that were a part of this event b. There was nothing “worldly” about the […]
